The Insider was not just about the tobacco industry, but also the selling out of news journalism. So I could underdtand how Crowe couldn't get a handle on who was the "lead character". He and Pacino did a wonderful dance. And that it's based on true events and real people, is even more compelling.

Like you are actually there in that moment in time on that ship.

@rudythecat7320 3 года назад

Master and Commander, A Beautiful Mind, Hammers Over the Anvil, and lots more. He's promoting "Unhinged" at the end, but no amount of rationalizing will convince me that that movie isn't just a piece of garbage of the B-movie slasher variety. Bad career choice for such a great actor. Oh, I forgot to mention, he was amazing in "The Loudest Voice in the Room," but it should be a wakeup call to him that he's in the weight league now of Roger Ailes.

The first time I saw Russell Crowe was in “The Quick and the Dead”. He spent most of the movie chained to a pillar in this old West town. He was totally unknown here in the U.S but Jesus, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Saw “Romper Stomper” after that. I loved young Russell Crowe so much. And then (after “Gladiator”) he got old and doughy and had some bad report cards in the School of Being Civil to Other People and my love disappeared. This interview was great. I’ve never seen/heard Crowe speak so eloquently and with such love towards the people he’s made movies with. So - great interview , GQ or whoever made this happen.

@haidercheema363 3 года назад

I totally agree with Shaun M on this. He looks happy and content with life. All you people carrying on about his looks, its called age and yes not everyone in life wants to spend 3 hours a day in the gym or dieting or getting plastic surgeries, just so they can look perfect and young, like when they were in their 20s. When you are happy and comfortable with your self, you value your own happiness over what others think. All you insecure ppl, want to maintain a certain image of yourself and wanna look young, always, by killing yourself. Its the hollywood brainwashed mentality. I hope one day you just be happy and not worry about petty little things. He is a awesome Aussie icon. Go Russell !

LA Confidential remains one of my favorite movies, an unforgettable introduction to the acting of the relatively unknown RC. He's compelling in every role he plays.

@johnstrawb3521 Год назад

@Susan L I may be the only person in existence put to sleep by LA Confidential. Having gotten into film noir of the American 1940s and 50s to the point of becoming a scholar on that period in that genre, LAC just comes across as a pale imitation of the period. The real grit is in films like The Narrow Margin (1952), Touch of Evil, Odds Against Tomorrow, Shield for Murder, The Asphalt Jungle, 99 River Street, Armored Car Robbery... --No offense meant, at all. Cheers,

@susanl2502 Год назад

@@johnstrawb3521 I appreciate the comments and have not seen several of the films you mention, will make a point to. I wonder what you think of Laura. Though Ellroy's novel is what it is, Hanson had little interest in imitating or reviving the noir genre, as he often stated. Anyone trying to draw too many parallels will be disappointed. Unique cultural and historical events emerge when 'stars align', and can never be truly repeated. Credit to Hanson for knowing that.
